Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon "immediately" after a string of kidnappings.
The warnings came after a Shia Muslim clan in Lebanon began taking Sunni Muslim hostages to force the release of a clan member held by mainly Sunni rebels in neighbouring Syria.
The rebels say the clan member is fighting for the Syrian government.
They say he is a member of the Shia Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
